Yell Labs in London, UK is still hiring (slowly but surely). We're currently looking for great developers with Java and/or Python skills. We mostly make web apps and mobile apps and the backend services for these. It's all full time, London based, salaried... a regular job but in a buzzing product development environment. We're all very understanding of side-projects and actually encourage it. Contact david.kitchen@y…

Will you be hiring graduates in the summer?

We're hiring graduates already and have 3 graduates in our team.

We don't have a formal graduate trainee program, but are enthusiastic about hiring people passionate about programming and problem solving first and foremost.

If you are able to show that you've creatively put some work under your belt with things you're interested in, this will more than make up for lack of experience and show us how you approach a product.

The general advice given on here; to try and create a mobile phone app or a website to demonstrate your interests and skills... this is still the best thing you can be doing with your time before your study is totally done.

We're largely of the view that work and study doesn't define the individual and so we're keen to see what you've done to show us the essence of you.

Gothenburg, Sweden (I wonder what hitrate that will get on HN?)

At Aeroflex Gaisler we are looking for a talented embedded hacker that will create software for our system-on-chips based on our own LEON (SPARC32) processor. Previous experience with real time operating systems (e.g. VxWorks, RTEMS), device drivers, and other low level hacking is necessary.

We are also looking for someone interested in developing simulators for our systems. Computer architecture and C/C++ skills needed. Qt a plus.

Toolchain wizardry (GCC, Clang/LLVM) is always a bonus!

Drop me a line at $HNusername@gaisler.com if above sounds interesting.

The Amazon Web Services team is hiring for on-site positions in Seattle (WA), Luxembourg, Tokyo, Herndon (VA), and Cape Town (South Africa), Dublin (Ireland), and Slough (UK). We don't offer remote work, but some of the positions do include relocation assistance. I've scraped our official job site and used the data to create a tag cloud of the jobs at http://awsmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/jobs/all_aws_jobs.html . I'm stil…

I've actually been looking at Amazon recently and found the number of positions available overwhelming. I think I would do well in dozens of the positions posted.

I don't know if I should be applying to a bunch of positions to get a better feel of which one is "best" or if I should approach it differently.

How would you suggest proceeding when so many positions seem to be relevant?

1010data is hiring in NYC. Standard black-and-white descriptions of the current job openings are at http://www.1010data.com/company/careers/current-job-openings (warning: links on that page are to PDFs) and you can find out what we do at http://www.1010data.com/company , but here's a little extra color especially for HN: (1) We are looking for someone (v. 'Infrastructure Engineer') who'd be excited to take on the cha…

Let's say I have two kids, can you show me on a google map, a neighborhood I'd be able to afford on a 1010data salary?

A number of employees have one or more kids. Off the top of my head, they live in New Jersey (commute on NJ Transit), Long Island (LIRR), upstate (Metro North), i.e. the traditional NY suburbs, as well as in Manhattan and Brooklyn; that is, pretty much the whole spectrum is represented. In general it's safe to say that living in Manhattan is always going to involve compromises. Manhattan apartments are small and expensive. There's a strong tendency for families to move out to the suburbs, where there's greenery, space, and good schools. This is helped by the relatively good commuting infrastructure; it takes some of the NJ guys less time to get to the office than it takes me to get in on the subway from our house in Brooklyn.

I'm a New Yorker, but I'm not a real estate maven, and it'd be hard for me to suggest specific neighborhoods without knowing the specifics of your situation. Renting or buying? One- or two-income household? What do you do, what does your spouse do? And so on. But there are lots of options, and most of them are represented by at least one person at the company, so if you come and interview you can ask around :-)

Adylitica is hiring software development interns for iOS, web apps, WP7, or Android development. We do contract and boutique mobile app development.

We're based in Beijing, and will help you take care of everything you need to come out and work with us. It's a super fun city with tonnes to do and great food to boot.

Our website's pretty bland, but feel free to get in touch with us:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I consider myself a good developer but that grep apache thing is something I would have to look up. I only use grep once or twice a month on average. Why do employers expect you to have every possibly relevant thing memorized? I hate it.

I use grep several times a week. If the job is one that will leverage command line skills, it would make sense to understand grep. It's not like "grep [f]oo" is an alien command; it's basically a pattern.

I do see your point but still if you have an otherwise good web developer I'm sure he can learn grep.

I've been meaning to make a web comic where software companies end up with Exactly the employees they interview for. Eg the boss asks "why the does the guy we hired keep solving project Euler problems all day?"

It is a beautiful building http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monadnock_Building in a city with many beautiful buildings. Some say that the coffee shop http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/locations/view/Monadnock... is the best in chicago, and i hear that the NY staff likes it as well.

There are some particular mysteries of the building that Matasano is privy to. For example the "John Malkovich" door with its own office number: http://img228.imageshack.us/i/img0226yl.jpg/. And there is the fact that we are the only office on the 18th floor of a 16 story building. (And despite First Blood trying to get me with the swimming pool, that is not part of the deal.)

And the people here are absolutely awesome.

Intelligentsia in the main floor of the Monadnock Bldg. is one of the few things I genuinely miss about working downtown. I hated the commute, but be damned if that isn't some of the finest coffee I've had.

A crowd of us would walk there from CBOT to get it every morning (passing no less than three Starbucks' and a now-defunct Lavazza); it would have been very bad if they had been in the same building as me. ;)
